Ucon Fire Station

This week was my turn for the field trip. We went to the Ucon Fire Station. It is a volunteer base but they have a station, 2 trucks, and like 12 volunteers. Pretty good for a town that has 1000 people! The kids had a blast and I think even learned something from it! And I'm proud to announce that for Christmas, Jacob wants a REAL firetruck, not one of those pretend, not fun, fake ones. Lovely. He also wants to be a fire fighter when he grows up. He told me he wants to save people from fire, "BANG BANG BANG" From his mouth, not mine! No idea what is is upposed to mean! Anywho, here are the pictures!

Looking at the infrared camera. Shows where heat is

Trying on the helmet (I LOVE this picture!)

Listening to the siren

Blowing the horn

The whole gang and the fireman that was all decked out.
